Channel Islands
Remote, rugged islands off the coast of Southern California often visible during the transition from sea to land.

Sit behind the wing on the right for the best angle of Maui's interior. This side avoids the most direct afternoon sun glare when flying eastbound. For the arrival into DFW, the right side typically offers better views of the Fort Worth skyline and the major sports stadiums if the wind is blowing from the south, forcing a northern approach.
